White House now saying what you learned on DU this time last week.

[Robb]

Sunday talk show circuit, in this case http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/09/pakistani-taliban-times-square-bomb-plot-holder-says/">Faux:

....Despite conflicting claims over the past week from military and law enforcement officials, as well as Taliban leaders, Attorney General Eric Holder and White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said that authorities now believe suspect Faisal Shahzad acted at the direction of the Taliban in Pakistan and was probably funded by them.

(snip)

"It looks as though he was operating on behalf of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan," he said. "This is a group that is closely aligned with Al Qaeda. It has a murderous agenda similar to Al Qaeda, they train together, they plan together, they plot together. They're almost indistinguishable."

As we learned http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4364931">a week ago today here on DU. :)
